He then recused himself from the Russia investigation because, he said, he couldn&#8217;t investigate his own role in alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign; he was a key player in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Trump fired Sessions as AG. He then called nominating Sessions &#8220;the worst mistake&#8221; of his presidency. He skewered Sessions&#8217; intelligence. He mocked his Southern accent. He humiliated the former AG simply for taking a principled stand against potential conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Now the former AG and former senator wants his old seat back. Did he extol his record as a lawmaker from Alabama? Did he tout his conservative principles? Did the Republican offer a clue as to what kind of senator he would be if voters returned him?<\/p>\n<p>No. He called himself one of Trump&#8217;s biggest fans. He asked rhetorically whether he wrote a tell-all book, or did he show up &#8220;on CNN&#8221; to speak ill of Trump, or whether he has ever said a &#8220;cross&#8221; word about the president.<\/p>\n<p>My goodness.
